Character Analysis
A Two-Day Workshop with Gigi Bermingham

Have you longed for a technique which will allow you to create a character with confidence whenever you work on a play or film script? Gigi Bermingham, who recently appeared as Amanda in our production of The Glass Menagerie, leads a weekend Masterclass that will provide specific tools for character building and prepare you for your next role. Bring in a character you’ve always wanted to work on, and through exercises, discussion, and working with a monologue or scene, discover ways to build the foundation for bringing to life a truthful portrayal.
